1. FY2023 Full Year Results Summary

Operating income of 54.3 billion yen, exceeding the initial long-term plan (50 billion yen) of the current medium-term management plan, was achieved due to progress in the revitalization phase.

Record-high operating income and recurring income

  • The significant increase in both sales and income was due to strong gross sales (112% YoY) and SG&A cost control through "scientific analysis of department stores" (103% YoY), which contributed to the steady growth.
  • Store sales were strong, with both Shinjuku (375.8 billion yen) and Ginza (104.7 billion yen) achieving record highs.
    Isetan Mitsukoshi's sales totaled over 700 billion yen

We hold great expectations about the success of increasing Gross sales and the strategies we have implemented. These strategies, "high sensitivity , fine quality," "customer identification," and "connecting with individual customers," have enabled the company to significantly increase sales.

As a result, Gross profit increased by more than 32.0 billion yen compared to the previous year. In contrast, we were able to limit the growth of Selling, general and administrative expenses to 7.6 billion, resulting in Operating income of 54.3 billion, an increase of 4.3 billion from the previous year's 24.7 billion, due in part to the strong performance since the February 2 disclosure.

Also, the table on the right shows the 4Q results. In the past, the fourth quarter was not a quarter in which profits increased that much, but this time, profits increased by 8.3 billion from the previous year to 13.4 billion, and I believe that the current profit structure is changing very much and that the fourth quarter was a quarter in which we could hold great expectations about the increase of profits.

The change from Operating income to Recurring income from the previous year was +5.5 billion to 59.8 billion, due in part to a significant contribution from equity in earnings of affiliates.

Net income for the year was 55.5 billion, 171% of the previous year's level, due in part to the recording of tax-effect income taxes adjustment.

Next is consolidated Selling, general and administrative expenses.

As part of cost structure reforms, we were able to reduce expenses by 6.4 billion compared to our initial plan of 4.0 billion. As a result, we were able to limit the growth of Selling, general and administrative expenses that is associated with Net sales to an extent, and were able to take in other cost increases such as the impact of rising prices, which I believe contributed significantly to the 54.3 billion yen in Operating income.

1. Summary of FY2024 full-year plan

Continue revitalization and evolution of each business and launch new initiatives to switch from the "store" business to the individual customer business.

Aim for record-high operating income of 64 billion yen and recurring income of 69 billion yen

  • SG&A expenses are planned to be reduced by 6.1 billion yen through further penetration of cost structure reforms based on "scientific analysis of department stores"
  • Department store business surpassed the 50 billion yen mark and came to 51.5 billion yen (+6.3 billion yen YoY)

Credit & finance and real estate businesses are also expected to see significant increases in their profits.

  • Shinjuku Store (411 billion yen) plans to exceed 400 billion yen in store sales for the first time
    Ginza Store (114.0 billion yen) also aims to set a new record

Continuing on, here is our plan for FY2024, starting this April. The first

page shows the concept.

As you can see, this time Operating income is 64 billion yen and Recurring income is 69 billion yen. We plan to significantly increase the FY2023 record high.
